Global estimates for the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations

Abstract

We prove that certain Sobolev-type norms, slightly stronger than those given by energy conservation, stay bounded uniformly in time and $N$. This allows one to extend the local existence results of the second and third author globally in time. The proof is based on interaction Morawetz-type estimates and Strichartz estimates (including some new end-point results) for the equation $\{ \frac{1}{i}\partial_t-\Delta_{x}-\Delta_{y}+\frac{1}{N}V_N(x-y) \}\Lambda(t, x, y) =F$ in mixed coordinates such as $L^p(dt) L^q(dx) L^2(dy)$, $L^p(dt) L^q(dy) L^2(dx)$, $L^p(dt) L^q(d(x-y)) L^2(d(x+y))$. The main new technical ingredient is a dispersive estimate in mixed coordinates, which may be of interest in its own right.
